The issue you are seeing, is that we've added the recently backported version of systemd (230 vs 215) to our beagleboard.org debian jessie repo: https://packages.debian.org/jessie-backports/systemd Since one of the systemd 230 dependices requires another tool to be installed, for a full update via: sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade Then "libudev-dev" will correctly install.
